Answer:
x=[tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We want to find the value of x in this expression:
8x-2-5x=8
Our goal is to isolate x on one side
Combine like terms on the left side (add the terms with x together)
3x-2=8
Add 2 to both sides (-2+2=0)
3x-2=8
+2 +2
__________
3x=10
Divide both sides by 3
x=[tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]
Simplify the improper fraction
x=[tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
Hope this helps!
